Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Cringer is the archetypical coward. He avoids confrontation. He fears bodily harm and hides from stronger or bigger dragons rather than risking their wrath. He even cringes at his own shadow. Despite the fact that his fellow green Stripes smile a bit about his extreme behaviour, he IS one of the oldest Stripes in the clan and his personality has left its impression on all of them growing up, leaving the green Stripes of the clan the most cautious group in general.
